THEY SHOULD: Crossfire Hurricane Hoax: Will Anybody Pay a Price for Attempted Coup?
Examples need to be made. The Left’s culture of impunity needs to be ended.
SUNLIGHT IS THE BEST DISINFECTANT: FBI Director Patel says unreleased Russia probe documents will soon be made public.
FBI Director Kash Patel said on Fox News that “truckloads” of previously unreleased documents related to the Russia probe known as Crossfire Hurricane and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot will soon be made public in a “wave of transparency.”
He said the previous FBI leadership hid documents and information pertaining to the Russia probe “where people weren’t supposed to look.”
Patel, alongside Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, said on the Fox Business Network show “Sunday Morning Futures” that the release could happen within two weeks.
“Just give us about a week or two,” Patel said.
Faster, please.
YES, BUT ACCOUNTABILITY IS NOT THEIR THING: Roger Simon: MSM & Dem Leaders Should Resign over Multiple Biden Coverups: Treason in various forms.
(BUMPED): I’M BETTING THEY KNEW THIS A YEAR AGO:
This is the Most Dangerous Cover-up in the History of the Presidency:
Last summer, White House Physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor swore to the American people that Joe Biden was “completely fit for the Presidency” — no issues, nothing to see.
Now we learn Biden has “advanced”prostate… pic.twitter.com/JryrV92wXv

Get him re-elected, have him step aside for health reasons, let Kamala be president without an election, let the usual crowd of apparatchiks actually run things.
Yes. Next question?

Yes, the real question is who was President when Slow Joe clearly wasn’t? Everything else is distraction.
UPDATE: I mean, like, yeah.
If you don’t want people to be conspiracy theorists stop engaging in massive conspiracies I don’t know what the fuck to tell you.

FLASHBACK: Dealing with the Lower Courts.
Related: Make the Supreme Court lots bigger. It’s not a priesthood, it should represent America. “Increasing the number of justices would reduce the importance of any single retirement or appointment. And it would also reduce the mystique of the court, which I see as a feature, not a bug. Nine justices could seem like a special priesthood; two or three times that number looks more like a legislature, and those get less respect. Which would be fair. The Supreme Court, after all, isn’t made up of Platonic guardians. It’s made up of lawyers. If you asked Americans at random what kind of people they think are best suited to provide moral leadership, I rather doubt that lawyers would rank high on the list.”
Plus: Ginsburg flap shows Supreme Court, justices are too important. “Under my proposal, the death or retirement of a single justice wouldn’t be much more than a blip in the news, instead of something serious enough that there are people talking about violence in the streets. A Supreme Court composed of 59 justices wouldn’t have the mystique of the current Court — you might believe in 9 Platonic Guardians, but the notion of 59 such is absurd. And since governors would presumably select people from their own states, it would bring a substantial increase in diversity to the Court.”

MY LATEST SUBSTACK ESSAY: Report from Down South.
READINESS: Army halts tactical UAS competition without clear plan forward.
“It’s not that we don’t want a Future Tactical UAS. It’s just the one that was being developed didn’t meet our needs,” Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Mingus told reporters at the Army Aviation Association of America’s annual conference.
As part of a larger directive issued by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to make major changes to structure, formations and programs, the Army decided to cancel the FTUAS program just as two vendors had just wrapped up a competitive flight demonstration phase.
“There’s a misnomer of, ‘We’ve killed FTUAS,’” Mingus said. “We still need short, medium, long-range unmanned systems that can sense, they can see, they can extend the network, they can kill, they’re kinetic, they’re [electronic warfare], they do all those things and so we’re still going to invest in systems like that.”
The decision comes after the Army approved just one year ago the characteristics it wants in an FTUAS and awarding contracts to two teams competing to build the drone.
More from X: “It’s official: The US Army has fewer drones than we had 3 years ago.”
WELL, LET’S SEE SOME REAL INDICTMENTS NOW: Jonathan Turley: “For Posterity’s Sake”: Why the Biden-Hur Tapes is a Virtual Racketeering Indictment. “The real indictment that comes out of these tapes is a type of political racketeering enterprise by the Washington establishment. It took a total team effort from Democratic politicians to the White House staff to the media to hide the fact that the President of the United States was mentally diminished. If there were a political RICO crime, half of Washington would be frog-marched to the nearest federal courthouse.”
I suspect a prosecutor less creative than the ones that went after Trump could still find a plausible theory of crime here.

ON SUNDAYS I RUN A PROMO POST FOR (MOSTLY) INDIE WRITERS: Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.
Today there’s also links for non-writers.
There’s also a fun vignette challenge.
ICYMI: THIS IS THE QUESTION THEY DON’T WANT ANSWERED. OR EVEN ASKED.
We don’t need @jaketapper or anyone else to tell us Biden has been increasingly senile since the 2020 election. We need them to tell us who was actually running the federal government from 2020-2024 and how they did it. You’re not coming clean until you come clean about that.
